Big week ahead!
First, Commissions! Starting to go through the commission requests that have come in so far. Got a few fun ones from DevArt and HF (a lot of yaoi requests this time round). Then I realized that I totally forgot to alert my Tumblr followers that commissions were open (I always forget about Tumblr) ^^; so I’m going to give them some extra time to submit. (Heh heh…submit) Will be posting sketch for first commission later today. Also, got a corporate request o...

...is done! Only one page left! Actually, only two panels left, and then the next part of the first story arc continues.
I haven't done the math yet, but the first complete story arc will be between 40 and 50 pages. Lots more story to tell before this first part is done, and lots more story after that. Very excited. Once I'm done with that, I'll be looking to get it printed properly.
Almost forgot to mention, I leave town tomorrow and won't be back till Mond...

...and only two pages to go!
I'm on the road all weekend (big surprise), so I want to try and get one more page out this week (so long as I don't sacrifice the quality).
Man, this comic has been a challenge. It was originally 14 pages! I had to cut out a lot of interesting conversation. Sadly, as fun as a lot of it was, it didn't serve much purpose. It didn't tell us anything we didn't know about the characters, it didn't teach us anything about bondage or S&M...

...has arrived!
I tell ya, the writing on this particular comic has been the biggest challenge. It started at about 14 pages, got cut down to 8, then I threw it all out and started from scratch. This page almost got tossed too, but there are a few details about BDSM that I want to get across. Will be interested to hear everyone's thoughts when the whole comic is done.
The next page should be up tomorrow. I have a big weekend ahead and I want to get as much done as...

...has arrived! Hopefully this helps clear up the concerns of the previous page.
A big thanks to everyone for pointing out their concerns. While I was working on it this weekend I ended up writing a couple extra pages delving a bit deeper into the S&M part of BDSM. This will hopefully add more clarity to the matter and put Ellie's mind at ease (she certainly looks interested).

A huge thanks to you guys for covering the cost of Tracy Con this weekend! Travel, meals, and registration were all covered, and a good thing too, because this con was pretty much a bust. I wasn’t aware until the first day that the full name of the convention was Tracy Comic Expo & Reptile Show. Yeah, that was a surprise that left everyone in the artist alley scratching their heads. It would have been what we call in the trade a “red flag”. Also, it was located in a strip mall (a...

An interesting convention, but a fun experience. Didn’t sell much, but I did meet some interesting people. And my wife bought me a Christmas gift! Can’t wait to find out what it is! 🎁

Pretty small con so there aren’t a lot of distractions. Should have enough for the next page before the day is done.
Funny story, the full name of this convention is Tracy Con: Comic Expo & Reptile Show. 😅 Yeah, this is a small convention.

...just to shake things up a bit. There's going to be a lot of talking heads in the next four or so pages, and it's been a while since we've seen any bondage in this story.
Not sure how I feel about it, but I think it definitely adds something. Let me know your thoughts.
Also, thanks for all the comments about the dialogue. There's some concern about Meg saying that her job is to make the sub say "Red". A good criticism that will be addressed on the following page...

The next couple pages is mostly the two of them chatting about stuff. Not a lot of action. I have an idea to make it a bit more interesting. The rule is "show, don't tell", after all. I may redo the first two panels of this page to make it a bit more interesting, but I'm going to wait until I get the other pages done.

I rarely use true black and white in my black and white images. It always felt to stark, but the grays often feel muddy to me.
So, here's the next page with some truer black and white. Tell me your thoughts. I'm curious.
Thanks!

God, it feels great to be working on the comic again and moving forward!
Was hoping to post this last night, but my wife surprised me with dinner. We had a fun Halloween night, kicking back on the couch to watch Coraline. If you haven't seen Coraline, you should check it out. It's a great movie and was perfect for Halloween!
Working on the next page. Hope you'll look forward to it!

...finally! Man, it feels like it’s been ages since I worked on a page of the main comic. It’s good to be back in action! Line art for the next page is done! Need to run some errands now, but I think we could have a finished page tonight!
It feels good to be moving forward again. Had to share.
Happy Halloween! 🎃

Commissions will be open for a week. I’ll be picking out a few of my favorites from the bunch, so make them good! I know for a fact that you guys have all kinds of fun, sexy, pervy ideas, and I want to help make them come true!
On paper, of course…on paper. ^^;

Hey gang!
Busy week ahead as October is drawing to a close. Hope everyone has something fun planned for Halloween and that you’ve got your costumes all lined up. :)
Something cool happened last week. As I was recovering from illness and whatnot, I couldn’t get my head around drawing, so I spent a lot of time writing. Maybe it was the medication, but I ended up pounding out about fifteen pages of script that squares away the first story arc of BLACK LABEL! Very excited about that as M...

I'm back! Back to fighting trim!
God, what a month it has been. I've tried really hard not to complain (last thing anyone wants is a pity party) but damn what a month. Family emergencies, unexpected travel, illness, illness again, more illness! It got to the point that we were just waiting for the next disaster to strike.
But it's all over! Everyone's fine. I'm fine and healthy, I've got a boat load of sketches for AMAZON, scripts for two new stories, ...

I almost didn't post this. There's a reason most of my stuff is in black and white. Coloring has never been my strength. It's either too bright or too muddy. Illness has not helped. Still sick and working on this project for longer than I care to admit 90% of the time on color. Thought it would be a fun, easy distraction while I recovered.
Still, it's a good Halloween image. I'm done with it for no...

Busy weekend has left me nauseous and weak. I swear, this has been the month from hell. I just want to draw and the universe has done everything in its power to stop me. Fortunately my wife is amazing.
Will be doing a bit of doodling today, but nothing too serious. We’ll see what happens.

As I mentioned, I've been sick this week, and unable to concentrate on the comic. So I did some doodling instead. I came up with a lot of fun images. Who am I kidding? I was feverish. I came up with a lot of crazy images. I may have to finish a few more. It's about time you $5 patrons got some exclusives around here.
This will go up on Hentai-Foundry on Halloween. I've attached the 300dpi file as well as the 300dpi...

I've been sick since Monday (feeling much better now) and couldn't muster the concentration to work on the comic. So I did some doodling and this was the result. As you know, coloring is not my strong suit (the boots and gloves are bugging me) but all and all, a decent Halloween image. I shall unleash it upon an unwitting public come all hallows eve, bringing one step closer to world domination!

Last week my wife asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday (Oct. 10th). I didn’t even have to think about it; steak dinner, visit the local escape room, and to work on my comic. A simple plan. We spent Monday evening hashing out the details.
Then the phone rang...
A family emergency (everyone’s fine) came up and we were on the road to Oregon to do what needed doing. We returned late Thursday, exhausted, but happy that everything turned out well (and that we got to see...

If your not familiar with the game, it's basically the worlds largest wristwatch that does everything, including tracking your stats and weapon selection. Apparently Bethesda has a deal with Spirit Halloween store. $25 for a very convincing prop. A little Birthday gift for myself that will be a great convention accessory.
